Gen. FIT. Nichols on Party Unity.
"TRe good and unity Of the party
and the .oishes Of the Democratic
constituencies should Be consulted and
needed. I AM OPPOSED TO TIE pRoscRrP-
TfoN OF ANY PORTION OF THE PARTY"

The people OF LOUISIANA nave non
o,ed Francis 7. Nichols in the past
as an upright and worthy citizen in
the walks of private life; as the brave
soldier who went to the rescue of
his country when grim~visaged war
presented his wrinkled front, and
testified his devotion to her on many
blood-stained battle fields, and fol-
lowed the flag Of his beloved South
until II went down in darkness and
history had written in sorrow upon
its folds, ssThe Lost Cause" as the
unAinohing patriot who,, after the
surrender, and IN the dark days of
reconstruction, when many stout
hearts quailed amid the general dis
aster, and corrupt minions were OPP
pressing and robbing our people un-
der the shadow and protection of a
powerful and hostile Federal admin
istration, again buckled on his armor
and entered the unequal contest for
honest government, and in defense Of
the rights OF the people, and never
abandoned; the struggle until the
Democracy, that is, the people, were
triumphant. and the adventurers and
carpet baggers, were driven from our
State. We fail to see wherein he has
furnished the laurels he has has here
sofore won or dimmed the luster of
his brilliant record. And notwith-
standing the abuse and Islander of
his enemies, we reiterate and en-
phasize our confidence in and admi-
ration of his integrity, his heroism,
his patriotism, his devotion to the
Democratic party, and his fidelity, as
apublic servant to every public trust;
and in indicating him we feel that
we are indicating an honest and in
corruptible public servant, sound
and trustworthy Democrat and an
honored SON of Louisiana from un.
merited censure
